God's Temple: Taking Ownership of Your Physical and Mental Wellbeing


Listen Later

Faith and physical discipline are deeply interconnected, with scripture providing motivation for bodily stewardship. Taking care of our health isn't just about physical appearance but about honoring God's temple and developing mental fortitude for Kingdom work.

• The transformative power of 1 Corinthians 9:27: "I discipline my body and make it my slave"
• Losing 55-60 pounds through an animal-based diet focused on nutrient-dense foods
• Progression from simple morning walks to running and bodyweight training
• Pushing through mental resistance builds spiritual muscles alongside physical ones
• Eliminating distractions like podcasts and social media creates space to hear God's voice
